BHADLKY, i r.-'? . ? ? vi. Postmaster. PROSPECTUS OF THE "NATIONAL MON UMENT," A weekly journal to be published in Washington, under the sanction of the Washington National Monument Society. JAMBS C. PICKETT, Editor and Pcblmhir. The Monument is intended to be a literary, agricultural, and miscellaneous paper. It will contain selections of the literature of the day?the best that can be found in Ameri can and English publications: interesting scientific articles, embracing mechanics; foreign and domestic news; a sy nopsis of the proceedings of Congress, and every thiag that such a journal might be expected to contain, with the exception of party politics, which will be at ail time* most rigorously excluded. The Monument will be published for the express and the sole purpose of aiding lu the erection of the noble column bow rising on the banks of the Potomac, in hon or of the Father of his Country, and which every one who venerates the name of Washington would rejoice to md completed. After deducting out of the subscription the expenses of the Journal proposed to ho published, the remaining funds will be faithfully applied, and with out reserve, to the purpose indicated. The aid, therefore, of all who are willing to contribute to so patriotic an ob joot, and one so entirely national, is earnestly requested. By subscribing to the Monument, a valuable journal at a low price may be obtained, while It will bo doing some thing, at the same time, towards completing that inajostic memorial of the Nation's gratitude. The Board of Managers recommend Mr. Pickett, former ly Fourth Auditor of the Treasury and Charge d' Affairs to Peru, who proposes to edit and publish the Monument journal, as one well qualified to perform the duties ot editor, and to eonduet the paper faithfully, and satisfac torily to the subscribers. They assure their fellow-citizens that this enterprise is not a speculation got up for indi vidual emolument. Mr. Pickett will make the experiment with his own means and at his own risk; if successful, he will reoeive nothing more, and he asks nothing more, than a very moderate compensation for his services. Not one dollar, therefore, of the direct subscription to the erection of the Monument will be, in any event, applied to the support of the paper, nor the Society in any man ner hold pecuniarily responsible. To give the public an idea of what may be done with the journal it is proposed to publish, it may be stated that a list of fifty thousand paying subscribers, at two dollars each, will yield an annual net profit of from fifty to sixty thousand dollars. The postmasters, and secretaries of all organized bodies throughout the Union, aro respectfully requested to act as agents in obtaining subscriptions, thus aiding the groat olqect of our exertions. As ail editors and publishers, on account of the object for which the Monument newspaper wffl be established, must wish it to succeed, It Is hoped that they will con tribute to its success by publishing this prospectus. All moneys will be remitted, and all letter* and moneys addressed prepaid, to the general agent of the Monument Society, Hon. Efisha Whittlesey, Washington.

Termt-?The Monument will be printed on a double royal sheet?the paper and type being of the best quality? and in quarto form, containing sixteen large paces, that it May be mora easily preserved. The prioe will be two dollars per annum, payable on the receipt of the second number. The nature of the enterprise not admitting ot any credit, none can be given. Societies and clubs will be furnished with the Monument on the following terms: 3 copies for $6; 5 copies, $8; 101 coafea, $16; Ac. Those who are disposed to patronise the Moxuxhtt are requested to forward their names to the General Agent, withaut delay. The first number will be published early in May, aud the second on the second day of August, and weekly thereafter; time being allowed for the Prospectus to be circulated, aud for the agents to make returns. As all rabecribers will be contributors to the Monument itwii, their names will be published in the paper.

Newark Academy. By a late reorganisation of this department of Dela ware College, the Board of Trustees have taken measures to place It npon a new and Improved foundation, snd to endow It w?th srtvsntages pssssasui by few similar insti tutions in the country. The Acsdemy, heretofore merged In the College, and of course SUtjMted to all the evils which hav/s been found to attend the fimalgamattou of the two departments In the same building, and under the same government, now enjoys ths privilege of a separate establishment, without losing those which result from lis relation to the Collogc proper. A large and elegant edifice, with all the necessary fix tures of a complete boarding establishment, has been erected and furnished, in which the students of the Acad emy board, under the Immediate charge of the Principal and his Assistants; and all Its exercises are conducted on a system of ite own, uninterrupted by the interests or operations of the other department. The furniture of the study-rooms and dormitories has been chosen with pecu liar reference to comfort and convenience for study; and no expense has been spared In providing the apparatus necessary to render the means of Instruction complete; giving to Newark Academy facilities for private study and comfortable wvwnniodallon of students, fully equal to those afforded by many of oar colleges. From Its Intimate relation to the College, si ndonts of the Academy crOoy many advantages not generally oh talned at institutions of this kind. Those who wish to pursue some particular branch which falls more properly within the College course, may be admitted to rfdte In any of the College classes- Students also of proper age and discretion, by recommendation of the Principal, and Emission of the Faculty, may enjoy the use of the Col js Library without additional charge.

Denr Mr: 1 wish to expreas to you the gratification I derived on receiving the July number of the Merchant*' Magazine and Commercial Review, from viewing your portrait in the beginning, and from reading your addrss* to your friends at the end of it. When we feel undei ob ligation* to tliose who have contributed to our informa tion and amuwmcnt, we arc naturally deeirou* to poe*e*s all the knowledge of them, of their appearance, of the fea ture* of their countenance, and of the character and hab it* of their mind, which we can acquire.

I have become quite familiar With the Magazine ahd Review, and have no hrutdtution In expressing my humble opinion that it is eminently eutttled to the public regard and support. It oollect* aud arranges, in good order, a large amount of valuable statistical and other information, highly useful not only to the merchant, but to the ?tales man, to the cultivator of the earth, to the manufacturer, to the mariner, in short, to all olaeso* of the business and reading community. Entertaining this opinion, I am glad that it has been, and ho)>e that it may continuu to be, liberally patronized.

"I have read it (Merchants' Magazine) with a good ileal of attention, and have no hesitation in Baying that I think it one of the most valuable periodicals that was over published. To the merchant it seems quite indis pensable, and to the statesman and man of general infor mation almost equally desirable. It is a grand repository of useful facts and information, which oan be found no where so well digested and so accessible as in these num bers. I only regret that 1 do not own the whole work." Litter from. the Bon. Thomas B. Benton. Washington City, April 20,1840. Mr. Freeman Hunt.?Sir: I owe you many thanks for the opportunities 1 have had to read the Merchants' Mag azine, and have found it in reality to be a magazine, and that well replenished, of all the useful matter which the title would imply, and presented with a fullness and clearness which delights while it instructs. It is, in fact, a merchants' magazine in the large acceptation of the terpi?merchants who go between nations, whose large operation* bring many departments of knowledge, and a view of the state of the world, into daily requisition,: .But it is not the great merchant only, but the ono of more modest, but, nevertheless, of most useful operations*?the merchant of the Interior also?who will find this magazine to abound with the information the pursuit of hi* busi ness and the elevation of the mercantile character re quires. Nor is its utility at all confined, to merchants, but extends to the legislator and diplomatist, aud to all who are charged with managing the affairs of the nation. For myself, I have found it most useful to me in my senato rial labors, and have been in the habit for many year* of carefully consulting it. Very respoctfully, sir, your obedient servant, THOMAS H. BENTON. Letter from Bon. Wot. B. Seward. My Dear Sir: Have tho goodness to placo my name on your list of subscribers for tho Merchants' Magazine. I regard It as an invaluable work for the use of all who would understand not merely commercial operations in this extending country, but the fiscal and commercial questions Involved in the administration of the govern ment.

TMUTTS NEW AND SPLENDID ESTABLISHMENT for the scientific treatment of the various disease* with which the human system is afflicted, is situated about three miles from the city of Buffalo, in a rural spot, and so accessible from all points as to be reached without in convenience or delay. A line of omnibuses runs from the steamboat landing* in Buffalo to the spring* every ten minute*. The house and ground* are near the extensive and beautiful preen-howes and nurseries of the Messrs. Hodges A Bryants; and the ncenery in ail directions is unsur passed, as regards either variety or beauty; embracing points of view, from which may be taken in at a glance the broad expanse of lake Krie, the Niagara flowing ma jestically towards the Fall*, extensive threats, and the "Queen City or th? lake*," with Its moving panorama of steamboats and ceaseless enterprise. The water, taken immediately from the celebrated "Cold Spring," is unsurpassed as regards coldness and purity, by any In the United States. The house, recently erected at a cost of about seven thousand dollar*, has Men fitted up In a neat and elegant stylo, at considerable ex tra expense, and Is sufficiently capacious to accommodate seventy-five patients. Connected with the establishment, and constituting one of its attractions, are the fixtures and convenience* for in nocent and health fill gymnastic exorcises. MEDICAL DEPARTMENT. The Institution is under the general supervision of 8. M. Davie, M. D., Professor of the Theory and Practice of Medicine in Central Medical College, and Oeo. W. Davis, M. D., formerly of Dansville, N. Y., the resident physician, and Is permanently associated with the before mentioned gentleman as counsel, and associate of the medical beard of control. And the friends of the establishment deem It a matter of felicitation that the services of Miss Many M. Taylor, a lady of high medical attainments, who has at tended two courses of lectures In the Central Medical Col lege, have been secured, and that female patients can at any time avail themselves of her Invaluable aid and coun sel. The steward's department Is tinder the control of a gen tleman eminently qualified for that position; and unwea rled pains will be taken to have evury thing appertaining to the establishment arranged on a plan, and conducted In a way, to ensure the comfort, and promote the health and happiness of all who may wish to avail themselves of Its lienoflts.

A return from a wida and ftital departure from the simplicity of Nature'* laws is called for. alike by a rational love of happiness and the deplorable exigencies of onr condition. Hydropathy, or a scientific use of water as a restorative and curative agent, 1* a practical substitution of a simple and remarkably cfll ca^lons mode of curing the sick; for that system of drug ging. depicting, and cauterising, which, in obtaining tha mastery over disease, too frequently places the patient be yond the reach of further annoyance. The success of the various Water Cure establishments In this country, to say nothing of any other, has fnlly conflrmed the hopes of the early discoverers snd promulgator* of the (treat truths upon Wblrh the system Is founded, and rendan verbal cmmnnlewtions unnecessary. It Is deemed sufficient to Bay, that the " Cold Spring Water Cure" will compare fa vorablv with any of the well-conducted establishments ot a Similar character, and win be fbund equal to the best, as regards the order, convenience, and desirableness of its arrangements.
